 Then came the question of bond, and prosecutors argued Cook should be denied bond for several reasons. They referred to Cook's past record, saying he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, inflicting serious injury after viciously beating someone with a hammer in 2020. While out on parole for that crime, the DA's office says he was charged with cutting off his electronic monitoring device. In the end, the judge denied bond and Cook was taken back to the Lincoln County Jail.
